Julius Caesar's (aka John Way) most recent attempt to invade Gaul was today rebuffed by my band of Gallic heroes (with assistance from some Iberian Spanish allies).
The Iberians were initially defending a fortified village on the right, with the Gauls coming to their aid against the Roman imperialists. While initially unsure of Gallic intentions (i.e. they were unreliable!) the Iberians eventually piled out of their fortifications and turned the Roman left as the Gauls assaulted frontally, leading to the Romans on this flank breaking after a hard fight.
On the rest of the battlefield, Gallic Cavalry and chariots prevented Caesar and his elite Xth legion getting into action and so we called it a 15-10 to the Gauls and their friends.
Great game against a fun opponent

With the Romans securely holding the difficult hill on their right, the Gallic advance here is halted awaiting developments on the other flank

Vincent CholewaBy Toutatis! Many thanks for posting. It’s always interesting to see different situations playing out - a village of indomitable Iberians.
